Empty [syntax] tags; "disable bbcode" has no effect

1.
The old <code> tags required something in between to be replaced. If I do "" then you see the tags, just like that - helps when telling people to use them.

The new <syntax> tags don't behave this way: "".

2.
<syntax> doesn't observe the "Disable BBCode" posting option.

Can't help with 2, but with 1, just put spaces in: [ syntax ][ /syntax ]

I've tried that before, only to have... less educated users put the spaces in it too. And having to tell them to remove the spaces feels demeaning.

Not arguing against using spaces - certainly a simple answer to a simple problem - I'm just saying that if it could be done for the original highlighter...

Option 1: Wrap it into

Code: Select all

tag:

Code: Select all

[code]
[syntax="php"]
[/code][/syntax]
renders as

Code: Select all

[syntax="php"]
[/syntax]

Option 2: put another tag pair such as inside the [syntax] tag to make it invalid bbcode (doesn't work with post preview though):

Code: Select all

[syntax[i][/i]]
renders as
[syntax]
